Colombia

One my my goals for 2019 is to travel at least 4 times. One trip with family, another with friends, one romantic getaway and a solo trip. My first trip of 2019 to Colombia checked off the family trip goal. Why I went : I was invited to a destination wedding in Colombia and decided to make a vacation out of it. Columbia wasn't high on my travel list since I have been to Panama several times and figured Colombia would be similar - boy was I wrong. Colombia has a unique vibe and a rich African history I didn't know about. How we got there: We scored a cheap flight to and from NY on JetBlue. We flew on Viva Air from Cartagena to Bogota. When you buy tickets on Viva Air they will ask if you are Colombian, which will allow you to buy a cheaper ticket than an International traveler. I risked it and bought the Colombian ticket - they didn't check at the airport and there were no issues. The only downside to Viva Air is that they charge for carry-ons ($30) and snack...

Morocco

It's been one month since my trip to Morocco and I am finally back to my New York equilibrium. The trip was awesome and I recommend going. Hopefully this blog gives you a flavor for the county and some tips when planning to go. Why I went: My friend, Zahra , invited me to go on a trip to Morocco that was planned by Well Diva - Fly Life Travel . If you have read my previous blogs, you know that I take pride in finding cheap flights, planning my own trips and traveling with a small crowd. This trip was completely different, I paid and had no say in the planning. Surprisingly, it felt good not having to think about a thing. I will be honest, I don't think I would have had this level of trust with just any travel company nor do I recommend it. Zahra traveled with the group before and endorsed it, which put me at ease. Group Travel: Traveling with a group of friends you know and meeting new friends on a group trip makes travel fun. I recommend resear...

Thailand

I went to Thailand a few months ago and I am finally getting a chance to blog about it. I loved my time there - it was fun, cheap and I learned a ton. Overall the country is safe, I didn't feel like an outsider and you can get by easily speaking English. celebrating my birthday in Thailand How I got there - I scored a cheap flight from JFK to Bangkok on China Eastern for $387 (with taxes & fees). China Eastern will get you there, but the food is horrible and the service is just OK. My two friends who were on vacation with me bought a ticket for roughly $600 on Cathay Pacific. They loved the service, food and free adult beverages. The pic below is the first class seat I should have bought for the long flight...I was in coach seating which was very tight. first class seating - I was in coach :-/ We went to Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Definitely map out your time and book your inter-country flights in advance (We spent about $200 for inter-country ...
